Which artist was your favorite last year? How much did you listen to music?

Once again, it’s that fantastic season! There is only one thing to expect when the weather turns cold and holiday shopping is underway: your friends will be posting nothing but screenshots of their Spotify Wrapped.

However, they must first ensure that their app is current.

In a news release published on November 27, the company stated, “Wrapped is almost here.” Additionally, “keeping your Spotify app updated is one of the keys to getting the best Wrapped experience.”

Therefore, get ready. There is only one day of the year when those who don’t usually post to their Instagram stories do so. And who knows, perhaps you’ll discover that one of your cool friends is a huge yodeling fan.

Spotify Wrapped: What is it?

Spotify offers a number of intriguing features, such as an AI DJ or a dynamic, automatically generated “daylist” with quirky names (such as “jazz house brain food Monday early morning”) that represents the music a user enjoys at different times of the day.

However, Spotify Wrapped is the feature that generates the most buzz on social media each year.For social media sharing, the streaming service usually compiles a list of the songs, podcasts, and artists that users have streamed the most between November and December. Additionally, Spotify compiles a playlist of the 100 songs that a user has streamed the most, arranged from most to least played.

The campaign also provides amusing data-driven information about their listening preferences, such as whether they belong to the top 1% of Bad Bunny listeners, what color their music aura is, and what region their taste is similar to.

When will Spotify Wrapped be available?

Spotify has yet to announce when its 2024 Wrapped will drop, but in previous years it’s been released in late November or early December.

Over the past few years, Spotify has bumped up the Wrapped release date.
